Ministry /Health Update
April 21, 2012
As I write this update I'm looking out my window listening to the birds singing, so early this morning. Their singing is a reminder to me that Winter is over and Spring is now here.
It also reminds me that I have a lot to sing about. I have a lot to be thankful for. I have many reasons to Praise The Lord!!!
First of all, I praise Him for my family. They are a constant source of strength, love, and encouragement to me. They are each gifted in different ways, and yet God uses all of their gifts together as we serve Him as a family. We have had some wonderful weeks of revival so far this year, and we are looking forward to many more that God has in store.
Secondly, I praise Him for our friends. What would we do without you? So many of you pray for us on a daily basis. You pray that God would continue to open doors for us to share the gospel. You are praying for lost people to be saved, and saved people to be drawn closer to Jesus. Because of your prayers and support of our ministry, you help enable us to do the very thing that God has called us to do.
Finally, I want to praise Him for our future. I am thankful to be feeling good, and also thankful to be getting good reports from our doctors. I had blood work done this week and also CT scans, and thankfully everything looks good. Thank you so much for your prayers for us in this regard.
If you know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you too, can praise Him for your future. Because of what Jesus has done for us on the cross, we can have a future that is secure with Him in heaven. You might say, but what about right now? Right now, I am going through a very difficult time or season in my life. Right now I am hurting, right now it doesn't make any sense to me.
Here is what I know. God promises to never leave us or forsake us. He will walk with us through every difficult time and season in our life. He will cause all things to work together for good as we love Him and as we allow Him to make us more like Jesus.
Winter will end, and Spring will come. Why don't you take a moment right now to praise Him for your family, friends, and future.
In His Love,
Steve Freeman
Scripture : Philippians 1:6 Would it surprise you to know this morning that God has a finished picture of you? It is a picture that He dearly loves and treasures. Not a random photograph of some awkward, embarrassing, or even sinful moment in your life. No, a finished, complete, picture of the person He has created you to be.

Growing up with cerebral palsy wasn’t easy and Steve will tell you that because he walked different than most people, he was made fun of, a lot. He would come home from school many days simply in tears because of how children would make fun of him. He would continually ask the question to his parents, “why did God make me this way?” His mom would always tell him that, “God loves you very much, and has allowed you to be made the way you are for a very special reason.” At the age of nine, he began to understand a little more about God’s love, and he realized that he needed to be saved. He walked down the aisle of his church the best he could, and invited Jesus into his heart.

A Note from the Site Developer |
|
I’ve known Steve personally for only a few years. We were introduced by a mutual friend when he was interested in having a web site created for his ministry. Since then, it has been an honor and a blessing working with Steve to design, develop, and publish this web site! The site has been through several design and configuration changes and Steve has been very patient throughout the entire process. What began as a simple personal and ministry information site, has now expanded to include an on-line store and a personal log. The color scheme and content layout was designed by Steve himself. On many occasions at Colonial Heights Baptist Church, I’ve had the privilege of hearing Steve sing and preach. His personal testimony has impacted me the most and encouraged me to continuously pray for my children as his parents prayed for him. Listen to his testimony using the link above and you’ll see what I mean. Better yet, go to Steve's Store and purchase the CD! |
